Tina was diagnosed with a primary pulmonary hypertension on April 13, 2010. Duke Medial Center has been successfully treating Tina's PH with an IV infusion since that time. Tina and her family have now been informed that her body is no longer responding to her medication as it should be. This means she must receive a double lung transplant as soon as possible In order for Tina even to be put on the transplant list she must prove that she and a 24/7 caregiver can relocate to the Raleigh/Durham area for the surgery as well as the recovery period. Which Tina has been informed is approximately a six month period and about a $10,000.00 cost.
